Now more than ever, we all need to make a living....to KEEP on living ! GOD Bless the United States; Long Live the American Republic !!!

[@Spock910]

To keep a bottle of super glue from drying out, put it in the fridge. Had a bottle for 5 years doing that.

[@alliswell-pb9vo]

You can further lengthen that by putting the glue in a sealed container and add a desiccany. Then put in in the fridge.

I purchased the 3M film on amazon and installed it myself and it's a good feeling to know I've done another step to protect the glass around my house.

[@yvonvoyer5812]

A lot of house have fake storm shutters around the windows for decorations I recommend replacing them with real storm shutters as an extra protection from storms or criminals trying to break in

[@bestbargainfashion5575]

I have a shoe cart full of glues, cement, bonding agents, clamps, scrapers and things I used to repair shoes so I am re-purposing a LOT of "hobby tools" for different things and keeping in mind that something lying around can be useful no matter what it is, you can classify them and perhaps do something with them later. Another good example would be my sewing box full of needles, thread, buttons and fixers like velcro and hook n eye sets, etc.

[@jamesezekiel5728]

Another great video (as usual)! I am a senior fellow (retired) and I have 2 EDC load outs. The most simple is the one that I carry daily when I am staying home - phone, Victornox Tinker, house key, keychain flashlight. When I go somewhere, I add the additional items, such as a multi tool, watch, bandana, billfold, pen/paper, wireless hole puncher and many others.Both my truck and my wife's car have trauma kits and vehicle 'what if' kits. These 4 kits are based on videos of yours. Another thing, all of the locks in our house and my shop are keyed for the same key. This could be good or bad depending on one's view. Since I am retired I find it nice that I only have to carry 1 key for around the house. If you made a video on daily EDC kits for seniors it might be a great addition to your video inventory. Keep up the good work, James.

[@edro757]

wireless hole puncher LOL I love it

[@misenplace8442]

Just a side note, a medical grade super glue is used for minor head wounds & areas that cannot be easily stitched. Have used standard S-glue on cuts on my hands as it lasts longer than a bandaid.

[@elizabethwest9729]

They also make a product called “liquid stitches”. It burns but is a cleaner option if you can find it.

[@peterpetrov5831]

A lot of the items expire= Duct tape, glue - depends on the brand, but after 2 years not very dependable. Zip ties -in a few years - i had a lot that just become fragile and break while tightening. Even wet wipes are not really wet after a year or two.

[@ramplense01]

You can always put a little bit of water on those wipes and they will become usable again

I agree with the sound of a pump shotgun. I love that sound.....and the John Wayne toilet paper had me going! We cheaped out one time and bought no name toilet paper to try it. The money we saved we spent on extra hand soap, lol.

Lol i had my wife, mom, daughter and her husband and dogs here. I had already started stocking up on paper towels, TP, canned goods when the great grocery rush went nuts. We would go to the store for minor items like salt, milk etc. Rarely did we have a list that cost more than 40 bucks and we were never out of anything.

[@misgrego]

Consider Oil of Cloves to go along with the Ora-Gel. Works wonders for toothaches.

[@heiditucker2471]

Yes works wonderfully !!!!

[@raggedyanne81068]

Add gauze/muslin strips with the oil...helps for long run application... Worked for dry sockets after wisdom teeth

[@CaptainoftheCs]

I find Clipper lighters are better than Bic. They seem more robust, more reliable, can come in translucent casings so you can see gas levels and the flint can be easily replaced. What’s more, they’re just as cheap. Check them out.

[@davidnolanii6705]

For me one of the best ways to store toilet paper is to smash rolls flat and then vacuum seal them and then store them in a tote I usually put a small damp red container in there also just to make sure that there's no moisture collecting in the tote

[@mrcharrington1]

[@garygoldstein327]

Some thing I learned about super glue is repairing a broken plastic part or broken fitting, sculpting a new fitting with super glue, tiny strips of typing paper, and sprinkle of baking soda in building up a surface with the tiney strips saturated in super glue directly over the broken area and sprinkling between coats with baking soda while preventing contact with your work surface. Then when dry, using a file to sculpt a new piece. Sort of like paper machete only you don't mix the glue and the baking soda together because the baking soda speeds up the curing time and the tiny strips of typing paper strengthen the bonding agent for sculpting the work into the desired shape, similar to working with fiber glass between coats of resin. There are you tube videos that explain better visually the process.( Something to concider when you cannot order new parts.)

[@lewis9888]

I have had Bic Lighters that I had put away 20+ years that still work. I usually buy strike anywhere matches to put away. I store them in air tight containers. My AR-15 are 30 round except one 10 round. My AR-10 magazines are 30 rounds except one 10 round. I've got 21 mags for most weapons .

[@Sluckie13]

Great list. One tip that I’ve picked up is to keep a good inventory of what I have, what I need (prioritized) and where everything is located. I use a spreadsheet that I keep updated on my phone and laptop - and I print an update now and then.

Remove the cores from TP to store them in situations where you’re tight on space. Learned that from inmates while working as a Detention Officer. Or, remove them from the plastic and smash them down to store in a different container.

SuperGlue is my favorite repair tool; I use it for last minute walk out the door repairs on shoes, handbags, tools that are falling apart, appliance handles, etc., etc. Makes everything like new! Leaks in plastic buckets, glue tarps together that will hold up in rain, the uses are endless. We had a water plastic tall container that had cracks in it from being crushed and thrown around it was leaking water so I dried it and put the SG all on top of every crack I could find. No more leaks. If you were to tape tarps together you would need waterproof tape and it would generally be a mess and you would need to replace it a lot. If you wanted a permanent solution you use the Super Glue to make one big tarp. We have clear and black FlexSeal - it's awesome! We live off a SH state highway semi-rural but with a lot of traffic and while on our regular bike rides I would pick up bungee cords and cinch straps on the side of the road and take them home. I ended up with an entire bucket of ropes and cords of all kinds sizes colors. Sometimes we use it to go pick up furniture or appliances.

Do not throw away your used bar soaps. Save them to melt down to make your own soap bars in grid down situations.

How do you melt down your small bars of soap?

[@thomastrieschmann2682]

@@not2zen Put them in a pan that is not one of your significant others' best and put it over a heat source. Heat the contents until it melts. Then pour melted soap into prepared aluminum foil molds and allow to cool.

On the duct tape, get the cloth type tape. T he grey plastic type tape will shrink and let go.

[@MinnoFight]

Not sure if mentioned in comments. Re: 1lb green propane bottles. You need maybe 4-6 for buddy heater/ Coleman stove/ flat grill whatever. The priority add on is a digital scale and adapter valve that will fill 1lb bottle from 20lb grill tank. By zero’ing bottle you can fill to 1lb and reuse and put more money into the fuel instead of bulking up on the 1lb canisters.

Duct tape is also great if you must stitch a large gash, I used to put 1 on each side of the cut and then sew the 2 tapes together, it’s just easier and quicker. You can temporarily just seal the wound with duct tape but it does need to breathe to heal properly.

[@garygoldstein327]

If the fuel runs out of your lighter, and one of thosel tiny sample bottles of hand sanitizer. Squeeze some hand sanitizer on your kindling material, then use the sparks from your lighter to ignite the hand sanitizer. A tiny pencil sharpener and a twig inserted into the sharpener can help make kindling as you shave the twigs in the sharpener. Shavings make great kindling matterial. Save charcoal from your camp fire in an empty tin. If you have cotton balls you can pull the fibers appart and place the cotton fibers into your charcoal and make the cotton fibers peppered with this black chared- coal dust. So next time you need to start a fire use two pieces of flat wood and rub the dusted cotton fibers between these pieces of wood until the fibers get hot from being rolled back and forth between these wood pieces from friction and soon it will smoke. Then blow on the smoke ladden cotton fibers until you acheive a fire and place under your other kindling material. And drop dry twigs over it.

If you can get the roll out of the TP its easier to squash it down.

[@lewis9888]

I put many many packages of TP in totes years ago. I didn't flatten them, I could have gotten more in the totes, but I've got so much I don't need to change it. I pay extra money to buy Liquid Bandage instead of using super glue on cuts and scrapes. It has medicine in it. I do have a lot of super glue put back for when you can't buy it anymore.

How di you wrap the rubber band around the lighter? Any suggestions?

[@davidnolanii6705]

I don't use rubber bands I tried those they eventually just break but you take those black hair bands that you can buy at the dollar store and you get like a million of them and you make sure that you get the ones that will kind of fit underneath the button and you just you know slide it under the button and just keep wrapping it over the top until you run out of hair band and it's super tight and then it just doesn't allow the button to push down

Wax candles will store FOREVER in all but the hottest climates. They are a integral part of my emergency heating and lighting plan.
